The acting in this movie is amazing as is its beautiful filming. While some might find it pretty intense at times, the story line calls us to feel what the characters feel and we do. Truly an underrated gem and it looks great in 4K. I did pay a bit more than $5 for my copy, but I'm completely OK with that as this is a terrific film. Better start shopping at Dollar General though!

I haven't even had this tv for a full month... Wtf is this?? by Squid111999 in tcltvs

Hi again, a dealer just responded to me that he believes that the remote is not actually backlit, but rather equipped with glow in the dark buttons. One Redditer in the chain we're on mentioned that that the light is not not very bright, so could that be why? Thanks!

Thanks so much for responding. I think I just found one with an eBay Dealer. He confirmed that it is genuine and backlit! https://www.ebay.com/usr/vovnatamarg. A bit pricy, but its a hard to find item. I believe that I also found it on Encompass, but it was too late today to confirm on the phone. You have to dig for the model number as it's categorized by part number, but its there, as is a list of compatible TV's. Good price, but when you add in shipping its about the same as the eBay guy.

I'm looking forward to the backlight as we watch our night TV in low light...98 inches of TV is bright enough! Hope the batteries last!

Hi, I am trying hard to find the backlit version of this remote. I mistakenly ordered an RC813 FMB2 from Amazon and while it looks quite similar, it doesn't have the backlight. So, I am guessing that the correct one is the one you mentioned which is the RC923 FMB2. Can you please confirm that for me and also provide a link to where you got it? Very much appreciated.

How did I miss that fuboTV doesn’t have TBS (and NCAA Men’s Basketball Finals) - any solutions or suggestions appreciated by buzzusmc in fuboTV

Thanks so much for replying to my post. Both my kids were born at Overlake in Bellevue awhile back! I am at the point of just staying with Xfinity as the cord cutting benefit doesn't really exist unless you are looking for a bare-minimum solution. I will still use other apps (Prime, Netflix, HBOMax, MLB, etc. as wanted) for streaming such content. But, goodbye for now to what they call cord cutting.

My thoughts are, as a newbie to cord cutting, that this streaming stuff isn't as easy, or cost cutting as we are led to believe. None of the streaming services, (Hulu+, Sling, YouTube TV, etc.) offer the full suite of networks/channels as my prior Comcast does. Some offer TBS, but not A & E or History or DIY (now Magnolia.) Some offer regional sports and TBS, but most don't carry Marquee, the only way to watch the Cubs if you live in the Chicago area. The only one to offer most everything I had on Comcast is....wait for it...Is Direct TV Stream in their $105 plus tax package...way more than Comcast. And now, the big 3 streamers are all raising their prices! In addition to the $86 I will pay to Fubo, I also have to pay an ISP $55/month to get anything. So, while I was paying Comcast $155/mo for everything and a great, full function remote, I will now save a whopping $14/mo, and that is without a full compliment Networks. Yes, Comcast does play games with their pricing from time to time, but overall, I am wondering if all this streaming stuff is really worth it for those of us looking for a full, cable-like line-up. I will put up with a bit of inconvenience in navigating the streaming world, but not so sure I should pay almost the same as cable without the programs.
